Life After Divorce: The Rise Of Elijah Crawford Chapter 115
Cleo knew her plans had every element of ridiculousness infused in them, but that wasn't going to stop her from doing what she had to do. And what she had to do was wait.So In the darkness of the parking lot, she waited. The seconds counted to minutes and into half an hour. Her legs were starting to hurt. She bounced from toe to toe, swirled, picked up a stick lying on the bare ground, and swung it around. She imitated the sound of night birds, dodged twice when she thought she saw the flashlight of security personnel, and swallowed her spit one too many times out of thirst.At exactly thirty minutes into her time outside, she heard the clinking of footsteps scraping across the ground. Whoever it was looked in haste She waited patiently, even holding her breath.First, their legs appeared, followed by the rest of their body. She smiled when she saw it was exactly who she had been waiting for.Gliding out of hiding, she stood in front of Avery, blocking her path. The visibly upset

The party was coming to an end, but there was still no sign of Elijah. Winnie decided to go search for him, or at least find out if his friend was okay.She was about to leave when someone blocked her path. She raised her head to see it was no one else but Colin."Is there a problem?" She asked, her tone curt and dismissive."I've been staring at you all night. You look worried. Are you okay?" He leaned in, feeling his voice being washed out by the loud music.She frowned, and moved back, maintaining the distance between them. "I'm fine. I was going to go look for Elijah. His friend is not out yet, and I'm a little concerned." She said, her eyes darting across everywhere but towards him.He let out a low chuckle. "His friend? Do you think he's just friends with a girl as gorgeous as she is?" He instigated.She sent him a sharp look, her chin jutting forward. "Why can't they just be friends? He had a male friend with him. Are you saying they're in a poly relationship?" She asked, foldi

Nathan Luxe's eyes became blurry, and his gait shaky. That was when he realized he had drank way past his limit. He felt himself spinning, even if subconsciously he was aware he was standing in one position. People down below looked like ants clustered together. His nose wrinkled in disgust.Everyone seemed to have forgotten there was an infectious disease spreading around. Perhaps, it was the plan of the Carter's.If there was a mass infection, including the elites, the empire could further enrich itself. But he couldn't let that happen. He had worked for so long to preserve the legacy his father left him. He had gone further to compete with the likes of the Carters, whose empire had been around longer than his.There was no way he would sit and watch them continue to progress by stealing his clients. He swayed back and forth, his infinite glass for the night, swinging loosely around his hands."Thief. Bloody thief!" His words came out slurry, incoherent.He didn't care what Coli

The breaking news, fresh out the weekend, on Monday morning, read; "Insight from the Carter's supposed business party."Elijah was just coming out of his room when the headlines caught his attention. He went straight into the living room and found Tobias seated, his eyes caught on the"Morning bro." He mumbled a greeting and sat beside him"Hey, morning," Tobias said, with his head stuck forward."What's the news about?" He asked."That's what we're going to find out." He replied.They sat in silence as the news anchor went into irrelevant details. Finally, she arrived at the news they were patiently waiting for.A clip of Nathan Luxe being carried out of the party appeared on the screen. It didn't stop there. They had videos of Avery storming out of the party, Rhonda and her mother leaving way before it was over, and even Winnie looking pissed.Each shot had its narrative attached to it. But the one that caught Elijah's attention was a clip where Lexington and Jay stood as if deep in

"Why do you do that?" He tried to change the topic, but Cleo was not having it."Who was it, Ethan? Rhonda or Winnie?" She smirked, as she dropped the tray on the small table."None of your business. And actually, I don't think I have an appetite anymore." He mugged her off."You're such a child." She snorted."Whatever.""Yeah, whatever. Go do your thing yourself. See if I care?" She sulked, turning around."The food?" He called."I don't care!" She yelled, slamming the door.Elijah chuckled as he listened to her retreating steps. She was such a drama queen. He was so sorry for his friend, Tobias. The poor man was hopelessly attracted to a handful.He shook his head, his eyes returning to his phone. Only five minutes had passed. He was beginning to feel restless.He didn't know if starting with his former house was the best option. What if the new occupants weren't cooperative?"Then you buy the house." He heard a voice in his head sayShrugging it off, he rose to his feet. Where did

"What are you doing here?" Cleo took a step forward, her face creased into a frown.Asher hands stroking an unresponsive Snow paused, his eyes trailing lazily towards her. He gave her a once-over, stopping on her face."Cleo Montgomery. Just as beautiful as ever. It's a given though. You are the goddess of beauty after all." His eyes twinkled, but his voice was dry and sarcastic."I didn't ask you to tell me what I am. I asked a question. What the hell are you doing here, Asher?" She took another step forward, her eyes shooting daggers."Okay now slow down love. Why are you so pissed at me? Did I ruin breakfast? Or perhaps a threesome?" His eyes bulged, as he covered his mouth."You must think this is funny. No one wants you here Asher. No one called for you. You're better off rotting in the ground." She spat, taking one more step.His eyes darted across her legs, quickly calculating the distance between them. Raising his head, he grinned. "I'm a god baby girl. I've drank from the wel

Cleo sat on her bed sulking when she heard a knock on her door. She looked at the door and rolled her eyes.She didn't want to hear it. Whatever they had to say wasn't going to change her mind, or her assessment of the situation.She was going to ignore the knocks when she felt him. It wasn't Elijah at the door.She jumped to her feet, and hurried to the door, but paused just in front of it, and took a deep breath.Wearing a nonchalant gate, she opened the door."Hey." Tobias waved."Hey." She replied, throwing her face to the side.He smiled at the dramatics. "Are you going to let me in?" He asked."Whatever." She left the door and went into her room.He followed, closing the door."Are you really that angry?" He pouted behind her.His voice, holding a childish note, made her turn to face him. "Why shouldn't I be? The both of you think and act so recklessly. Elijah, I understand. When shit hits the fan, he can take back his power. You don't have that advantage. You're completely huma

Elijah returned to the room to find Cleo stroking Snow's fur. He stood for a while just watching her.It was moments like this he knew to count his blessings. To have people drop their lives just to come help him was something he would never take for granted.That was the major reason he couldn't be mad at her for too long. She was too precious to him."Take a picture. It should last longer." She raised her head up, and there was a smile on her face."Unfortunately, pictures do not do justice to the real thing." He teased, and her smile widened."Are you flirting with me Elijah Crawford?" Her brows curled, purposely putting him on the spot."Eeewwww, you're like a sister to me." His nose wrinkled, as he moved from the entrance."Touche," She chuckled, but grew serious just seconds later. "I'm sorry about earlier. I took things too far. I just want you to know it's just words. I trust you with all my heart." She placed her empty hand on her chest, dramatically."I know," He sat at the
